Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Wholewheat flour
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1/2 cup Caster sugar
- 1/3 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2-4 tbsp Milk, warm
- 1 cup Carrot grated
- 1 cup Zucchini grated
- 1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped
Topping
- 2 tbsp Walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease and flour an 8" by 4" loaf pan.
- Place the grated zucchini on a muslin cloth and squeeze out all the excess water.
- Sift together the flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder.
- Stir in the caster sugar.
- In a separate bowl, add the coconut oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine well.
- If the batter is too thick and dryish, add warm milk, 2 tbsps at a time. The batter should be thick and smooth with no dry streaks visible.
- Fold in the grated carrots, zucchini, and walnuts.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and top with chopped walnuts ( optional).
- Bake at 180C for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before taking it out and cooling on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature or warm. Enjoy!

Notes
- Fold the ingredients gently —Mix only until everything is evenly combined. Overmixing results in a dense loaf.
- If the top of the carrot zucchini loaf is browning too fast, cover it lightly with a piece of aluminum foil.
- Allow the carrot bread with zucchini to cool completely before slicing it. This will help you get cleaner slices.
- I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure a better and consistent bake every time!
